Sorry

Chapter 4

Austin

I was beyond pissed. I wanted to kill Stella. How dare she raise her voice at me . My mother had to sleep on empty stomach because of her.

I was still shaking with anger. I wasn't done with her though. I wanted to break her, I wanted to snap her neck. She was still lying on the bed. I was so angry that I didn't notice the blood on her body or the marks of my leather belt.

All I was seeing was red.

I slowly went towards her, when she saw me she started crying . Before I could do anything she quickly ran towards the washroom.

I got even more angry.

But when I heard a thud, she was lying unconscious on the floor. Her naked body covered with red harsh marks. My anger quickly went away .

I realised how harsh and rough I was. I hastily went towards her and poked her with my feet.

" Get up Stella, stop this acting right now"

But she didn't move.

I crouched near her and turned her on her back. Her face had my hand marks. She was covered with bruises .

Her neck, chest had bite marks. Her wrists were red . Her skin purple. And the belt marks were terrifying.

I patted her face " Stella, Wake up "

She was so still that it was scaring me. I checked her pulse and I breathed in relief as I felt her heartbeats.

I wrapped her in a blanket and picked her up. I quickly ran downstairs and ordered the driver to take me to a hospital.

I made her sit on my lap. Her head was laying on my chest. I never looked at her properly. But now she looked vulnerable and fragile. I was scared that if I held her too tight then she would break.

The bedsheet was turning red. She was loosing too much blood. I saw some glass pieces in her skin and it made me cringe.

When I took her forcefully I noticed that she wasn't moving but I didn't care. She was attractive. Even with those baggy clothes , she looked really tempting.

I carried her to the hospital when we reached . I was literally running. They took her to a room and asked me to wait. I had to work but I wasn't sure if I should leave her alone.

The doctor came out after some time.

" Are you her husband?" She asked me

" Yes. Is she okay?"

" I removed all the glass from her body. But her body lost too much blood. She is too weak . "

" Will she be okay?"

" I hope so. You need to give her all the medicines and she should have all her meals properly "

" Okay. Can I see her?"

" She is unconscious for now but you can go and see her. She will wake up in an hour or two" she said and went away.

I went in her room and saw her lying on the small bed. Wires were connected to her body. Her skin was pale , she looked almost dead.

I felt as if someone ripped my heart. I didn't want to have feelings for her. When I looked at her weak body , she looked so defenceless .

Images of how she was pleading , flashed in my mind. I still continued to assault her. I know I r***d her but I don't regret it. She is my wife , I own her. I paid for her.

I covered her properly with the blanket and went outside. I had to make a presentation so I went home and decided to come in two hours.

After finishing my work , I looked at my watch and more than 2 hours had passed. I forgot about Stella. s**t.

I quickly ran and started driving my car. I was scared, How would she react after seeing me?

As I was about to enter the room, a nurse came out. " Is she awake?" I asked her

" Yes sir, she woke up half an hour ago"

I went inside and saw her watching the window. The curtains were closed .

She didn't move when I went near her.

" Stella?" I called her

When she looked at me , her eyes held no emotions. Her face was blank

" Can we go home now?" She asked me

" I'll ask the doctor.

I.. I'm sorry Stella, I crossed a line" I said

" It's okay"

She continued watching the window. I went outside to talk to the doctor

" Can I take her home today?" I asked her

" Yes. But she is still weak. I'm not sure if she is fine. Usually abused patients show some reaction after waking up but she was awfully calm. You need to be gentle with her. It will be better if you take her to a therapist. " She said and walked away.

She was right. Stella was really calm about it. Even when I hit her , she made no move to move away. She kept begging but nothing else.

I sighed and pulled my hairs. I didn't want to think about her.

I went to her room and saw her sleeping . I didn't want to wake her up so I picked her up gently . But she quickly woke up . She said she wanted to walk so I let her but I held her waist in case she looses her balance.

She was tiny. Her waist was really slim . She was extremely weak and I reminisced how little she usually ate at the table.

I wanted to ask her about everything but she kept quite. Whenever I asked her anything she just said yes or no and nodded her head. She was annoying me with her behaviour.

I tried to control my anger and tightened my grip on the steering wheel.
